Notes:
- Clostridium histolyticum is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Clostridium.
- On the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names and on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (Amended Edition), the title of the publication by Weinberg and Séguin (1916) is erroneously cited as "Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Séances (sic), Paris".
